Our Veterans Report on DSLCC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 19 GI Bill® students at DSLCC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 457, around 4.2% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
